The Andor Character That Creator Tony Gilroy Will Miss The Most

The following article contains spoilers for season 2 “Andor”.

Almost a month after his triumphant conclusion, “Andor” always makes waves in more ways than one. A series which, at the time of its initial announcement, was largely considered the most useless and uninterestive idea for a “Star Wars” program on Disney + has proven not only the best entry which takes place in the original Galaxy of George Lucas by Lightyears, but also the best piece of Star Wars “by George Lucas since 1980, when the audience has left Shellly At the Revelate Scrywalker Relex by Luke Skrewer.

A large part of what made “Andor” such a brilliantly built series is thanks to its creator and Showrunner, Tony Gilroy. This could have easily been a disposable cash outlet with endless nostalgia and cameos. Instead, Gilroy took the story of one of the real heroes of the rebellion, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) as well as the introduction of a multitude of dynamic characters on both sides of the “Star Wars” holder And gave viewers the most exciting political stories, the most insightful and yes, never told by one of the most precious intellectual properties of the whole history of entertainment.

With all the richly written characters introduced in “Andor”, there is a character that Gilroy will miss the writing material for the most.

Although “Andor” is named after his protagonist, who would continue to give his life for the rebellion in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”, the series is ultimately an epic mosaic, but earth-to-earth of what it would be to live with your neck under the boot of the 24/7 Empire. Given that it takes place before the events of “Star Wars: a New Hope”, we are fortunate to see characters from all walks of life, which they are literally working for the Empire, trying to get the most out of their lives in the middle of a fascist diet, or actively participate in the rebel. One of the out -of -competition characters in the series is Syril Karn (Kyle Soller), who was a career focused on the career employed by the imperial office of the Galactic Empire standards. A large part of the stories based on “Andor” are found not only in the representation of Syril’s bureaucratic career, but also through his relationship with his dominating mother, Eedy Karn (Kathryn Hunter).

Tony Gilroy appeared on the Ringer “House house“Podcast, where he discussed the writing process behind” Andor. “When he was asked what character he would fail to write for the most, Gilroy said Eedy Karn.

Much of the psychology of the character of Syril Karn is actually explained through each conversation that he shares with his mother. Eedy Karn loves his son and only wants success for him when he rose the ranks of his career thanks to the imperial bureaucracy. However, Eedy always gives conferences to his son, and Syril spends the whole series to unconsciously pursue his approval. His intimidating presence and his unforgettable voice are presented effectively in each of his appearances, a large part of which is thanks to the memorable performance of Kathryn Hunter.

From Skywalkers, solos, Fetts and Palpatines (UGH), “Star Wars” is a franchise that often explores the troubled family dynamics. “Andor” and “Rogue One” do not have exceptions, since we see how fascism and war can tear families in many ways. Regarding the Karns, the ultimate tragedy of their relationship culminates in perhaps the best episode of the whole series, “Who are you?” In this fascinating episode exploring the massacre of Ghorman, Syril reconciles with the true nature of the Empire to which he devoted his life, as well as the ultimate betrayal he feels of his significant other, Deedra Meero (Denise Gough).

Unfortunately for Syril, any potential for a redemption arc was immediately destroyed when he recognized Cassian in the crowd, seeking to demand his revenge, since that is all he left. Syril is almost Cassian, but in his great dismay, Cassian does not recognize him at all. On this achievement, Syril is killed by one of the rebels he betrayedCarro Rylanz (Richard Samuel). “Who are you?” ends with one of the most heartbreaking images of all the “Star Wars”, in which we see an eedy karn distraught looking at the cover of the news from the massacre, crying for the loss of his son.

With complete “Andor”, the future of “Star Wars” stories live is in the air. Next summer, “The Mandalorian & Grogu” will be released in theaters, marking the return of the franchise on the big screen almost seven years since “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”. Later this fall, the main photograph will start for another film, “Star Wars: Starfighter” by Shawn Levy with Ryan Gosling. While fans should remain full of hope for more beautiful stories in the galaxy far, very far, it will be really difficult to follow the radiance of “Andor”.
